While light-hearted and fun, The Perfect Hollow – A Greater Glider Story, is also gently educational, introducing children to the importance of quality habitat and tree hollow homes.
The endangered Greater Glider is just one of over one hundred Australian mammal species that use tree hollows for homes. Tree hollows also provide homes for over ninety Australian reptiles and over thirty Australian frog species. More than one hundred Australian birds nest and raise young in tree hollows. Both adults and children can learn from the range of wildlife, annotated with their common and scientific names, hiding in tree hollows at the end of the book.
